Really sharp: give the knife to a wood carver to sharpen. Do not test unless you want to bleed. If I do it, a 5" Scott Murry Drum with 360 and 400 sand paper sprayed with water followed by leather/rouge, then steel. Not quite as good as a wood carver but works.

Could this be an answer?
11.15 X 55R LK EXPRESS
The 11.15 X 55R LK EXPRESS was never officially listed in any catalogue. There are however numerous specimens in existence with varying case lengths. All cartridges were manufactured between 1890 and 1910 and have H Utendoerffer headstamps.

While it has been awhile, from DCM shoots the guys that were doing good were using Kowa, Leica, or Swarovski. If you look at these remember that for some, the scope price does not includes the eyepiece which is sold separately. And yes a friend claims the Konus, as mentioned above, is good for the price! Again unless something changed, the Konus is kind of weighted forward which should not be a problem but something to keep in mind. I'd only worry about setting it up on a cheap, short tripod on a concrete table.

I sent it to Navy friends and they all claimed that it explains a lot of their problems.

VA answer is not enough research.
I believe an air force officer got tired of sending personnel to have their hearing checked and when results showed OK, he thought something else had to be going on.

Here is a link to a cost of reloading calculator. Follow the examples and you should be able to figure a break even point. Buy bullets local if you can as casting is time consuming.

For stainless pistols I take off the grips, remove the cylinders and drop all metal into a 50 cal. ammo can filled with Ed's Red. After a few days I blow dry with compressed air and run a dry patch through the bores. Blued guns, I clean the bores and wipe down.
